92. Marriage
Jian Ling didn't feel embarrassed for long, and Xia helped her solve the problem.
Looking at the champagne-colored off-the-shoulder dress sent by the maid, as well as the matching jewelry and shoes, Jian Ling looked at Xia in some surprise: "Where did you get these?" ”
"The clothes and shoes were prepared for you a long time ago, they were ordered before, and I didn't have time to pick them up, just now while you were sleeping, I called someone to send them over," Xia Xiao picked up the clothes and put them in front of her for a while, "The size is from your file, it was all data from more than half a year ago, and I don't know if you have grown taller and fatter." ”
Although Jian Ling didn't care much about her appearance, she couldn't help but glance at Xia's teasing: "Are you disgusting me for getting fat?" ”
"I wish you were fatter," Xia's gaze glanced at her, "Fleshy is more tacky, your small body now makes me have a toothache." ”
"......" Jian Ling took the clothes from his hand speechlessly and went to the locker room to change them.
The palace's dining room is located on the second floor, a very spacious dining room with a long dining table near the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, it was already dark, and the hazy moonlight poured in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, only to be hidden by the brilliant crystal lamps, and the candles on the golden candlesticks burned silently and flickered.
At that time, only the second prince Feng Han arrived, he held a goblet wine glass, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, put one hand in his pocket, squinted his eyes slightly, and quietly watched the quiet scenery outside the window.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming into his ears, he hooked the corners of his mouth as usual, turned around with a smile, and watched Xia and Jian Ling appear hand in hand.
His gaze swept over Xia, and finally on Jian Ling.
The diamond necklace around her neck......
Feng Han suppressed the slight surprise in his heart, put down the wine glass, walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to hug Xia. After the two of them let go, they each took a step back at the same time, looked at each other without shying away from it, and laughed even deeper in unison.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you went to the Sunau Empire some time ago and made a great contribution to our Welsh Empire!"
"It's not a credit, it's just a matter of duty. However, you have been on a good streak lately, having passed the parliamentary election at the age of twenty-one, becoming the youngest elected member of parliament in the Welsh Empire, and the last time my father had a banquet for this occasion, it was a real honor for the entire royal family. ”
Feng Han still smiled slightly, looking very peaceful and kind: "Brother, you are the glory of the royal family, and you have always been." ”
……
Jian Ling listened quietly to the greetings of the two brothers beside him, and only felt that the relationship between these two people was not as good as that of ordinary colleagues and friends.
Finally caught the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor, and the two brothers stopped their excessively polite greetings and saluted His Majesty the Emperor together.
When they raised their bodies, His Majesty the Emperor's gaze quickly fixed on the diamond necklace around Jian Ling's neck, his expression changed slightly, as if he remembered something from the past, and a trace of imperceptible nostalgia crossed his eyes.
Jian Ling sensitively noticed His Majesty the Emperor's gaze, and was puzzled in his heart, planning to turn around and ask about the origin of the necklace on his body.
As a result, as soon as they were seated, His Majesty the Emperor took the initiative to explain her doubts.
"Miss Jane, the necklace on your body was given to you by Xia, right?" When he asked this, His Majesty the Emperor's gaze inadvertently swept over Xia, as if in response to his speculation, Xia calmly looked back, his eyes full of determination.
Jian Ling nodded lightly: "Yes." ”
His Majesty the Emperor was silent for a moment, and then laughed slowly, thinking very much about the elders of ordinary families, very amiable: "This necklace is a relic of the Empress, saying that it is for Xia to keep and give to his wife, and now it seems that he has really identified you." ”
Jian Ling didn't know the origin of this necklace, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, but she still maintained a calm smile on her face, she knew that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor said the origin of the necklace in person was waiting for her to express her position.
His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to be close to Xia, but after all, he is his biological father and son, whether it is in name or face, he doesn't like his son to hand over everything he has before the other party has expressed his position. To put it bluntly, in terms of Xia's identity, this kind of behavior is quite low.
"To tell you the truth, Xia is really annoying sometimes, his mouth is bad and domineering, I have been so angry with him that I almost wanted to beat him up several times," Speaking of this, Jian Ling paused, and a somewhat helpless and sweet smile appeared on his face, "But after getting along for a long time, I found that he actually has a lot of good aspects, he can cook delicious meals, he is also very responsible in trouble, and he is very good at taking care of people, sometimes even more careful than me...... I don't know if I will meet such a man again in the future, but this time, since I have met him, I don't plan to let go again. ”
This was her attitude, very clear, even clearer and firmer than His Majesty the Emperor had imagined.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled meaningfully: "You are all still young, and you want to stick to it for the rest of your life, I can understand it, but you have to understand that there is nothing in this world that can compete with the passage of time." No matter how hot the love is, there will be a day when it will wither, and at that time, you will find how unbearable those shortcomings in him are, and how stupid your choices are, are you sure that you can still say like today, without hesitation, that you want to live with him for the rest of your life? ”
"None of us can guarantee the future of life, maybe the next second there will be a world war, maybe the next second humanity will perish...... We can't live with the unknown, we can't live like that. I just hope that even if the world is destroyed in the next second, at least we are together at this moment, at least we live with sincerity and no regrets. ”
Under the table, a hand sneaked over and held her tightly.
She didn't look back, still quietly looking at His Majesty the Emperor, neither humble nor arrogant.
Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's slightly narrowed eyes, Jian Ling continued: "Maybe we are still very young now, and there are many ideas that are not mature, but a lifetime is so long, we still have a lot of lives to grow up together and work together for the future we want." Time can kill some things, but at the same time it can accumulate other things, maybe the love is exhausted at the same time, the family relationship is stronger, I think that at that time, I can still tell you as clearly as I do now, I want to live with your son for the rest of my life. ”
She said very subtlely, but it was also very direct, so that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but smile lightly: "I really can't see that this could be the idea of a nineteen-year-old girl, which is much more reliable than I imagined." ”
Speaking of this, his gaze swept to Xia: "I originally thought that you were just stunned by beauty, but I didn't expect your eyes to be quite good, if your queen mother saw this scene, she would be very pleased." ”
Xia clenched Jian Ling's hand and didn't let go, and nodded: "In two days, I will take Ah Ling to the grave of the queen mother to pay respects." ”
His Majesty the Emperor hummed and agreed: "When you left the palace, your queen mother was very sad, and she often had nightmares about this, dreaming that you had encountered some accidents, and secretly wiped her tears from me. Until her deathbed, she didn't be able to see you again, this is her biggest regret before she died, and you took Miss Jane to see her when you turned back, which was also a last wish of hers. ”
Hearing the mention of the queen mother, Xia's eyes were slightly gloomy: "Don't worry, I will comfort the queen mother." ”
Jian Ling noticed the change in his mood, so he took his hand back under the table and squeezed it gently.
At this time, Feng Han, who was sitting opposite Jian Ling and Xia, didn't speak, he always smiled slightly. Even after talking about his biological mother, he was still so unmoving, gentle and calm as a porcelain, no one could see through what was inside.
At the dinner table, the family chatted softly and calmly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, just like a real family.
When the main dishes were served away and the waiters brought the desserts, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked slowly, "Xia, since the person has been chosen, when are you going to get married?" ”
Hearing this, Jian Ling and Xia's hands paused at the same time.
Xia glanced at Jian Ling, and then said seriously: "Ah Ling hasn't graduated yet, the marriage is not too urgent for the time being, I plan to get engaged first, and then after she graduates, we will officially hold the wedding." ”
His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "Well, that's fine, after all, Jane ......"
He paused, turned his head to look at Jian Ling, "Can I call you Ah Ling too?" Calling his daughter-in-law 'Miss Jane' at the dinner table sounds a little strange. ”
In fact, according to his identity, it is no problem to call Jian Ling as much as he wants, but when he thinks that he wants to become a family in the future, as a royal family, he should pay more attention to politeness and respect.
Jian Ling smiled slightly: "Of course you can." ”
"Well," he continued his previous words and said to Xia, "After all, Ah Ling is still young, so there is really no need to be too anxious about marriage, but if you encounter any unexpected circumstances, don't make random decisions, and you must notify me in time, you know?" ”
Xia was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to what the "accident" he said was about, and immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows: "No problem, if there is really any 'accident', I will definitely be the first to let you know." ”
"Well, that's what it sounds like."
Just when the father and son had finished talking about the matter, Feng Han, who had not spoken, slowly spoke: "Since you are going to get engaged, do you have to inform the people of the Jian family first?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Jian Ling's gaze was immediately attracted, she looked at Feng Han's gentle and harmless smiling face, and said lightly: "You are right, I will personally explain this matter to my family when I go back." ”
"I heard that the relationship between Miss Jian and the Jian family is not very good, plus the things that happened to Miss Jian before......" He stopped in moderation, and then continued to make suggestions for them, "Marriage is such a big thing, I think it will be a little inappropriate to let you face it alone, I am afraid it will be a little inappropriate, it is better to let my brother accompany you to go back to Jian's house in person." ”
